If you have used an estate agent when buying or selling a home before, you are probably familiar with an estate agent’s fee. Although the fee can seem like a simple cost of the transaction, it can be hard to work out exactly what the money goes towards. In this blog post we go a little deeper into estate agent fees and explain, among other things, which services are usually included in the fee and what an average fee costs. We will also go through which services are included in the estate agent’s fee here at Brikk, and how we are able to sell your home for just 22.500 kr.
What is an estate agent’s fee?
An estate agent’s fee is, as the name suggests, the fee an estate agent charges for helping you sell your home. It is a payment you make in return for various services from the estate agent. The fee goes towards, among other things, the agent’s salary, marketing of your home, document costs, viewings of your home, and much more. The fee is most often stated as a fixed amount.
What is included in an estate agent’s fee?
As mentioned, an estate agent’s fee covers a number of services in addition to the agent’s salary. These can include the valuation of the home, marketing, any document costs, viewings and, finally, price negotiation. It is important to point out, however, that the services included can differ from agent to agent. With some estate agents, marketing the home costs extra, for example, whereas other agents, such as Brikk, include it in the fee. When you choose to sell your home through an estate agent, it can therefore be a good idea to find out which services are included in the fee, and what they cost.
How much is an average estate agent’s fee?
The fee charged by Danish estate agents was estimated at around 85.000 kr. in 2021 (Bolius 2021).
At Brikk we think 85.000 kr. is too much. We also believe that the different cost items in an estate agent’s fee should be transparent, so that you know exactly what you are paying for. This helps create openness and peace of mind when you put your home up for sale. For that reason we have set a fixed estate agent’s fee, so that you do not experience any unforeseen costs when you choose Brikk as your agent.
